Which constraint affects carbon nanotube transistors at cryogenic temperatures?

A)Phonon bottleneck reduces thermal conductivity
B)Increased carrier freeze-out depletes charge
C)Quantum tunneling resistance decreases sharply
D)Grain boundaries facilitate electron mobility

💡 Explanation

Increased carrier freeze-out occurs because decreased thermal energy reduces intrinsic excitation above the bandgap; therefore the depletion of charge carriers increases ON resistance, rather than quantum tunneling dominating because this requires lower temperature still.
